The River Road - National Scenic Byway

The River Road National Scenic Byway, a pre-European Native American travel route, is a 23-mile road that parallels the Au Sable River and intersects with US-23 in Oscoda, MI. It stretches from Lake Huron into the Huron National Forest that is famous for its scenery, biology, history, and its efficiency as a major route in the transportation of white pine lumber. Recreation opportunities on the byway include hiking, fishing, boating, as well as breathtaking views of the Huron National Forest. Parking is casual, and can be done on the road as long as traffic isn’t obstructed, and there are multiple access points throughout the forest.
